Have you ever wondered what some of the world's most expensive yo -yos look like?

Like this $250 handmade glass yo -yo?

Or the super rare $500 gold plated yo -yo?

Or this 100 ,000 diamond -encrusted 24 -karat gold yo -yo?

Well today, I'll be using progressively more expensive yo -yos to complete progressively more difficult yo -yo tricks.

Starting with this, a $160 world's longest spinning yoyo.

It achieves this by having these insanely heavy brass rings.

Brass is a pretty expensive material in yoyo world.

And this thing weighs a ton.

Weighing in at 220 grams.

This yoyo is way too heavy to be doing normal yoyo tricks with.

It's just really bad at that.

But this yoyo is designed to spin.

For how long exactly?

Let's find out.

spin.

Next we have a $180 shot glass but also doubles as a fully functional yo -yo.

This thing would theoretically be pretty fun to parties If I were invited to them.

Still going strong.

Now, there are other shot glass yoyos on the market, but what makes this one so expensive is that it is made entirely out of stainless steel.

Now, I'm not much of a drinker, but I do like coffee, so let's see if this thing can successfully contain One shot of coffee.

It's a pretty good yo -yo, but.. not great at being a shot glass.

Now this is a fully custom handmade glass yoyo.

Look at the custom artwork on the side here.

Ooh!

Getting one of these bad boys will set you back about 250 USD.

Now the secret behind this yoyo is this metal spike right here.

This is what is referred to as a side effect.

So that this yoyo can basically be used like a pro yoyo even though it's made almost entirely out of glass.

Now the obvious trick to do with a glass yo -yo should be like a 360 no -scope on concrete Oh!

The entire yo -yo community hated me for that.

So this time we're not doing that.

Instead, we're using these to do a side effects DNA.

Oh my god, please.

Oh my god, no glass yoyos were harmed in the making of that trick.

Next yoyo is a 339 titanium yoyo.

Titanium is literally one of the most expensive materials in the yoyo community.

Any yoyo made out of titanium generally ranges from the $300 to $500 price point, mainly because it's ultra durable and it sparks.

I call this trick fire jump. That never gets old.

But waiting for this yoyo to stop spinning does.

Now titanium is cool for sparking, but its real advantage is that it's so strong and light

that it can be machined in ways that's not possible with weaker materials like aluminum.

Aluminium?

So this next yoyo is the Deviant Titan.

A titanium version of my aluminum competition yoyo the Deviant Plus.

Coming in with a $350 price tag.

And to demonstrate its superiority, I'm going to attempt a trick that I've never landed in yoyo competitions.

Basically a Godspeed combo that's done horizontally, but behind the back.

serious for this one.

Whoa!

Okay, come on, come on.

Yo!

Woo!

Okay, this one, this one's a collector's item.

It's 2010 and Hiroyuki Suzuki debuts a completely new freestyle with a completely new gold -plated yo -yo.

But when it was released, it looked completely different.

This version was never sold to the wider public.

To make matters worse, when he uses the publicly released version, he loses.

So I've always wanted one of these.

I scoured the internet, I found one of Hiroyuki Suzuki's old teammates and this one, this cost me $400.

450 USD.

Now the trick I want to do with this is circular Eli hops.

You know for some reason I always thought having the exact Yo -yo he used

when he first did it on stage would make this trick easier.

Let's find out Not sure if that's $450 easier, but I did land it so we're gonna go to the next trick.

Okay, I'm probably undervaluing this one at It's an entire 24k fully metal gold -plated yo -yo.

Only word team members were ever given one of these.

I know Vu Ho has one.

I won mine by winning Australian Nationals 2014.

Now randomly the most famous yo -yo trick from my 2014 routine was that one there.

A photographer had a snapshot of it and that was basically my digital face for a couple of years.

So why not recreate it with this?

Oh, yep, yep.

Thank you.

Still worth.

Yo -yo number eight, Outlier Titan.

This is the most expensive yo -yo available at OffsetYoyo .com and for good reason.

This yo -yo is what is referred to as a TISS, a titanium stainless steel yo -yo.

The titanium is machined to be super thin

and the stainless steel weight rings are added really precisely to give this thing like an unparalleled amount of speed and power.

Alright, to sufficiently challenge a yoyo as light and long spinning as the outlier titan,

I am going to merge four of the most famous yoyo speed combos on this entire planet into one mega

What's up?

So Deviant Titan, Outlier Titan are both available at OffsetYoyo .com.

Only 50 of these were ever made.

And lastly, my $100 ,000 gold -plated diamond encrusted yo -yo.

I thought it was a good idea to make a Vucci branded yo -yo.

I then thought it was a better idea to coat the entire thing in 24 Garrett gold.

And then I finally thought that it would look even cooler if you covered the face in diamonds.

No one bought it.

I don't know why.

Hafu won it.

Okay, I just lost 100 grand.

I get to keep this?

Yeah, it's yours.

I didn't want bored of it and send it back to me.

So it's for sale again.

If you guys want to get this, it's on the Offset Yo -Yo website.

You have to kind of look hard to find it though.

Comment down below if you found it.

101

I call this trick the $100 ,000 pocket rocket.

102

What?

103

Oh yeah, another me got the Yo -Yo to spin for 90 minutes and 59 seconds.

104

- Oh my God.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
